Flame Lick

One of my PCs got trapped in a VR world playing “Everquest 40k”. He was trapped there long enough that his “ranger” got to level 4 killing rats and spiders outside of Freeport. When he was eventually broken free of the VR trap he took with him the memory of how to cast an iconic […]

COLLEGE OF SONG: The Balladeer (aka the EQ bard)

She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters): Six years, I dragged myself, kicking and screaming, into health clubs, and zilch! Now, one little green blood transfusion from you and… va voom!

The Golden Goddess (Machine Spirit (5e Cleric Domain))

With AIs abounding in my world who are seen as Powers (gods) by the common folk and machine spirits by the more learned, here is an example of one such domain which is specific to the AI known as UNITY (a backup of the original UNITY and not quite as insane) The original, now destroyed UNITY, called herself […]

Gunlock (D&D 5e)

By player request, inspired by the Gungeon final boss – The Lich. GUNLOCK Gunesis 1:1 In the beginning, the Gungeon was formless and void, and bullets moved over the face of the deep. Studying the mystical arts takes a lot of time and effort. Some find this overly onerous or lack the means to learn, […]

Cavalier Archetype (5e)

A home brew cavalier inspired by the original 1e AD&D Unearthed Arcana version as well as the updated knight version from Castle & Crusades, merged with the weak sauce version from 5e. Cavalier (Knight) Upon windswept battlefields where armies struggle for supremacy, there are those who make war their daily bread. They are the […]

C&C Warlock

A C&C/OSR Warlock for my players – inspired by both the DCC warlock and the optional Basic Fantasy Warlock. This completes my attempt to mechanically differentiate arcane spellcasters from the base magic-user/wizard. The sorcerer can be found here. Not play tested. WARLOCK All warlock share the following base class abilities, otherwise, the patron determines the specific benefits […]

Maleficence (Magical Calamity Table)

Decided to consolidate the magical calamity table for the sorcerer into 1 table. D16 for doubles, d24 for triples and d30 for quadruples. die Effect 1 Stop: Absolutely nothing happens (time stops for 1d4 rounds, 100 ft radius, the sorcerer is not affected but otherwise the standard time stop rules apply). 2 For the next minute, you can […]

Maleficence (Magical Calamity Table)

Stolen for my 5e game from a few sources, main one being sorcery is a sword without a hilt. These are the triple roll disasters for sorcerers. Maleficence Your spell effect targets adjacent target instead (harms next nearest person, alters wrong thing, creates related but not identical item). Teleport 1d6x10′ in a random direction. A random […]

Hedge Wizard/Wise Woman

I quite liked the idea of component based magic from sorcery is a sword without a hilt. Here is a 5e version specifically built as a self-taught wizard type. This only works if you use slot based encumbrance – which I do. Rise Up Comus is worth a read and I don’t do it justice […]
